With plasma 5.10, we had a circled number indicating for example: - Number of files being copied in dolphin task icon - Number of new mails in thunderbird task icon - Number of active downloads in chromium task icon Also, we had the status of the downloads for chromium or of the file copied for dolphin that appeared in their respective task icons (in green). All those things does not appear anymore since I update to 5.11 version of plasma. It's the case for all computers I manage (5). The option "Show progress and status information in task buttons" is still checked, uncheck and re-check it does not change anything.
Confirmed. Probably some fallout from the switch to using non-absolute launcher URLs. I'll have a look tomorrow.
